The Moustache Bar

A place to worm.
Standard dance tunes, fun décor with everything with a ‘tashe and a big map in which I marked my home town. A short but fun night was had here some time ago.
It doesn’t get busy until late — so head here between 11.30−12.30 to avoid the queue, but have company on the dancefloor!

So it’s 1 or 2 stars for the actual bar — which in reality is a tiny little sweat infused cellar with a couple of toilets out the back — and I’m throwing it 4 stars for the sheer randomness of the place.
Rocked up here from a friend’s flat round the corner after an impromptu drinking session turned a little bit dancy! If I had come here as part of a planned night out then i’d have probably been a bit disappointed, but as it was, it felt very spur of the moment and a little bit secret — just a random door on the street and down some cramped stairs!
I doubt I’ll ever end up going back, but thanks for the random (hazy) memories Moustache Bar.

This place seems to have quiet sporadic opening hours. It closed down for a few months but now seems to be open at weekends.
I don’t think you ever know what will be happening when you go downstairs. It doesn’t get busy really till after 12 so there’s slightly awkward mix of people standing on the outskirts of the dancefloor but I enjoyed it before going onto the Jazz Bar.
The walls are decorated in photos of people with moustaches drawn on and it’s got quite a low ceiling. It reminded me a little of the old Ghetto. Drinks are slightly on the cheaper side of average (vodka + mixer £3). I guess normal music is disco /​house /​techno

Popped along to this place after a housemate’s open gallery around the corner and was pleasantly surprised. Free entry, great music and atmosphere… full of people who seemed to have dressed up for the occasion which seemed a little over the top for a teeny tiny underground bar, but there was clearly no dress code as I got in without a glance to my scruffy, holey (but oh-​so comfy) Everlast trainers.
It was a mission to get to the bar which was really the only downside but other than that, good fun.

Young crowd of wannabees drinking expensive bottled beer in a packed basement. the place lacks style, soul, know-​how. Good as a last resort drinking hole if you are about late on Kingsland high street.

This is one of only really two night clubs in Stoke Newington. When I stumbled in here last Saturday night it was aboloutely packed. It was a young hip crowd dancing to loud well mixed pop infused Drum and Base.
This place is very gay friendly — if not actually a gay bar. There were quite a few male couples getting intimate without anyone raising an eyebrow. basicly it’s a single roomed basement with a couple of lounges and a long bar at one end.
The cool addtion though is the smoking section — which is a little room up some stairs at the back. It has kind of a circle of bench chairs which makes a great place to meet people.

This newly opened bar is the latest underground venue on the Kingsland Rd/​Stoke Newington Road stretch that is slowly becoming the place to be at Weekends. I went full of anticipation, and was left feeling underwhelmed. The venue is tiny, it literally feels like someones front room. The mad photos that cover the walls and ceiling add to this feeling. The sound system seemed too large for such a small place, and when i arrived at around midnight it was stifling hot despite being a wet and cold evening and absolutely rammed. It did calm down later on as people left, and you could enjoy yourself a little more then with room to move! A bonus of the place is the free entry (i hope this continues) and the fact a bottle of beer is a mere £2.50, impressively cheap for the area.

This is a great little bar, just tucked in between Dalston and Stoke Newington.
Located next to a barbers and a great kebab shop, the door is tucked between the two with a chandelier of bowler and top hats!
The inside is decorated in a mess of old photos and paraphernalia from a bygone era, each image with its own drawn moustache.
Drinks are cheap and seats comfortable and the staff are really friendly too.
A good night for all.

place is ok musoic could be better but hey its dancable.
